Abstract
This paper describes trials carried out by the BBC and associated partners in the areas of distribution and content generation using 5G technologies and examines the future role that 5G could have in broadcasting.
The 5G RuralFirst project represents the first public trial of 4G/5G technology for live broadcast radio – a medium for which delivery to mobile devices and vehicles is particularly important. It provides insights on the requirements for a useable and attractive service and the technical results are being used to inform inputs into standards for future mobile developments.
